Wow, that is an interesting case. The patch was applied to head and
backbranches, (so I didn't see it) but three days later reverted in back
branches, and after my date cut-off:
commit f74d83b3034f830bd68489b4aba99a4dee29c565
Author: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Revert back-branch changes in power()'s behavior for NaN inputs.
Per discussion, the value of fixing these bugs in the back branches
doesn't outweigh the downsides of changing corner-case behavior in
a minor release. Hence, revert commits 217d8f3a1 and 4d864de48 in
the v10 branch and the corresponding commits in 9.3-9.6.

Consistently return <literal>NaN</literal> for
<literal>NaN</literal> inputs to <function>power()</literal>
